Fried my DME today
Hi Guys,
I was trying to load a different map into the car today after some data logging. I was on laptop battery and it took a little longer than usual for the start , then I decided to just cancel it and restart. By time that clicked on the X button, the rewriting already started. Now I have all kinds of warning/failure messages showing and the fans are blowing in the front. The DME won't communicate with the cable anymore and the car won't crank at all.
am i out of luck ?
Thanks guys!

I would scrap the OBDII flash for this inherent reason. I would Contact Evoms or SharkWerks pull your ECU and send it to them, they can replace the corrupt chip but of course you will also be purchasing EVOMSit software as well.

From my very little experience (just with softronics) the cars can and usually go into limp mode for about 10 to 12 hours after remapping the ecu. My car did this and they said it was normal, to just wait at least 10 hours before trying to restart and it should be back to normal. Also everytime you try to start the car before 10 hours the countdown starts all over again.
Hopefully this is your case and not something worse.

Yes, you cannot cancel any firmware update midstream for any reason, you can brick your tv, blu-ray player, even a f'n refrigerator by aborting.

It was an accident. I went to cancel it because I thought it hasn't started rewriting and still verifing my cable. It started on the spilt second that I pressed the "X" button. Then I knew I made an expensive mistake
